Vacuous Video

I’m going to try something new today.  Uploading a video.  I’m very nervous, both to try it, and for y’all to hear my voice!

Oh, yeah, and to see my bedroom in real time!

Okay, here goes nothing.

And nothing is exactly what went.   (Don’t ya hate it when that happens??)

Well, alrightey then!  When I went to my files, I didn’t have a video!  I could have sworn I uploaded it, all my pix are there.   Time to troubleshoot.  Oh, Sweet Fri-end!

This is hysterical.  When I went to Wikimediacommons, to look up a “loading video icon”, this is what they gave me:

Oh yeah, that’s what I asked for all right!  LOL  smh

Ok, thanks to Sweet Friend’s help, I think we got it now.

Here’s hoping!

Nope, WP doesn’t support VLC, whatever that is.

So, onwards and upwards to plan B, whatever that is.

Now, I gotta go home and take still shots, except DH already straightened up all the mess so I could go to bed last night.

Whatever is a slogger to do when her beautifully messed up photo shoot location, is now NOT a mess????

Write a post about TRYING to upload a video, apparently.

Better luck tomorrow!

At least I can stop worrying that I sound funny on video!

Strawberry Sickness

part 1, Strawberry City, part two, Man Giant, part three, Strawberry Banquet, part four, Strawberry Love, part five, Strawberry Slush

she has The Tired Disease.

So. Very. Tired.

That’s the reason she can’t do anything but lay on the couch.  So, the Dr. starts Strawberry Girl on Tired medicine.

She begins to feel better.  Finally!   She takes the girls on adventures,

and makes friends.  She learns how to do some many new things, like quilting, making Tundraberry Jam, and weaving baskets.  Strawberry Girl even starts working part time, to fund her Coca Cola habit.

Man Giant was so happy, and relieved that Strawberry Girl seems to be recovering.

But, the messes and clutter begin creeping back in again.  Strawberry Girl feels helpless, and hopeless.

She takes dancing lessons

to make herself feel better.    But that plan backfired.  After dance lessons, some of her new friends went to the bar, to dance.  While they were there, it was inevitable that they began drinking.  Strawberry Girl didn’t drink.  But, everyone offered to buy her a drink.

So, she decided to try a Fuzzy Navel.

Big mistake.

1 drink lead to 2, 2 lead to 5, and 5 lead to constant drinking every weekend, after dance class.

Strawberry Girl became ……

The Kitchen Sink

The kitchen sink is terrifying to me.  I mean, there’s that big gaping hole,

Dun dun duh- the SINK

where stuff falls in, and never returns.  And it sounds like a monster is eating it.  And it always stinks over there.  Dishes go there to die, and are never seen again.

The belly of the beast is even more terrifying than its mouth.

From all the growling noises emanating from under there, it must a HUGE beast.  It’s dark under there, and damp, and musty.

I opened the door, and jumped back real quick-( you know that’s a lie.)

The other side of the dragon’s den.

Question- how did it know that I was going to open the door?  Where does it hide??

What if I reach in there, and something grabs me!  I’ll die of a heart attack!  But, some compensation will be, no one will have to pay for a funeral.  The beast will just eat my flesh and bones, and burp up my metal knee.  Hope I give him indigestion!

Seriously, how often do you beard the dragon in its den??

Aha!  See?? You are scared too, and just don’t wanna admit it!

Nothing under there is worth my life.  I’ll just wait till Sweet friend, or Brother are around.  Then I’ll ask them to get it for me!  Sounds like a plan!
